I bought it. Really wanted to like it. After my 4th try at the boss of the first Temple (Forest?), where I died almost instantly before I even figured out how to damage him, I quit. Because each time I had to start back at the beginning of the temple, change the water level, and navigate all the way through it again.…

Who died and anointed you king and governing body of DQ III speedrunning?

Why can’t they set up a store on their own website and sell the game? For a normal game that no one has heard of this obviously won’t work, but surely plenty of people are already looking for this game by name. 

Exactly. It’s human nature. Everyone is assuming this is managements fault and it is not that the developers are slow or procrastinating. The game has been delayed what three times already? Some of the blame needs to fall on the people not completing their assignments on time, right?

They haven’t taken anything away. They just haven’t repeated them. You can still go play the old games as much as you want.

That still doesn’t make it a thing. Words have meanings. You either need the move to do something, or you do not. You can either make the jump without a certain move, or you can not. In the places the trickier moves are required, the objectives are not. Yes, tricky moves are required to collect all the moons, and…

If 2) is just an annoying kid in a Moogle outfit I’m throwing a temper tantrum

Yes, the guy who doesn’t agree with your self-described unpopular opinion is here. 

Borderline necessary is not a thing. You either need them, or you don’t and for the vast majority of these maneuvers, you don’t. I think you’re vastly overstating the difficulty and necessity of moves in a game children can play to completion. 

Gamestop converted all their new stock of this game to used (on XBOX), so you can usually find a pristine copy in the store, with valid code, at the used price ($9.99 i think?)

I thought this sounded familiar so I went looking to see if I could get a physical copy. Saw Limited Run released it, then a bell went off so I went and looked. Oh yeah, I have a sealed copy sitting on my shelf. Then before I ripped it open I checked ebay and saw its up to $150. So I guess it will stay sealed and I…

Yeah I don’t understand what he’s talking about with the health bars. They were in the arcade and NES versions. Also Super Punch-Out is frigging awesome.

Oh yeah, Invisible War definitely makes my list of all-time disappointments. 

I’m failing to see how any one could fail to see the potential confusion.

It’s not an option that I’ve seen. Just straight save points and the occasional auto-save

What was the bug and why did they need your system?

Taking a GREAT game and turning into one third of a GOOD game is kind of a risky move.

I dont think the poster is taking issue with the fact that SquareEnix said it, but rather with the fact that it’s being reported like it means something. You could change the company and game name to literally anything being developed and it would be a true statement.

You really have to try some of the newer 2D ones. Mario will always be the king of course, but try some Celeste or newer Rayman.

Came here to say almost exactly this. I clicked on this hoping to read about some platformers I never tried, so that I could rush out and buy them immediately as they are my favorite genre. Uncharted as a platformer? No Rayman? Celeste missing until the comments? To me the definition of a platformers is where the…
